Had grafts in both eyes in 1986 but has recently had a re-graft and cataract surgery |
Elaine Nickolay (Vice-Chairman) | Diagnosed with KC in late twenties. Manages vision and lens comfort by wearing Kerasoft lenses and can achieve reasonable vision with glasses relieving the need to wear contact lenses all day |
Chris Longhorn (Treasurer) | Has a graft on one eye and contact lenses |
David Gable (Chairman) | Diagnosed in mid 20’s. Cornea grafts in 86 & 95. This has left an astigmatism of 7D in the right eye corrected by glasses |
John Smith (Webmaster) | One PK and one DALK graft. Sees quite well using sclerals, but not worn for the whole day |
John Thatcher (West Midlands Co-Ordinator) | Diagnosed in late teens, one PK in 1980 still going strong, stable cone in other eye. Wear mini-scleral RGP over graft and soft Acuity K lens over cone giving 6/6 vision; am lucky that can wear lenses all day, every day. |
